Lucky enough to watch INDIA WON cricket match against PAK

Be it World Cup or Asia Cup or some other cup; be it Tendulkar make the win or Harbhajan make the win; if India is playing with Pakistan, it MUST WIN. "They don't need to win the cup, we hope they win against Pakistan. That's enough for us!!" - a typical Indian cricket fan mentality is this. I am not exceptional. Therefore I feel lucky enough to watch a India won cricket match against Pakistan. My favorite such matches are the one played in Bangladesh independence cup in which Pakistan hit 314 and India successfully chased it and the one played in World Cup 2003 in which "The Little Master" hit 98 out of 75 to help India win, and now the third one - the league match in ASIA Cup - 2010.


After their poor performance in T20 world cup I have no hopes on India team (without Sachin) but Dhoni's team played a sensible cricket. Pakistan hit the decent total of 267 and India lost their 5th wicket in the form of Dhoni when they are at 210. As we all know the team India is like a "cycle stand", I was assuming we lost the match. But Raina and Hurbhajan played very well and dragged the total to 261. Still India needs 7 runs to win. And in the final over when 6 more are required Raina got runout. Score is 262/7 soon it turned as 265/7 and India need 3 out of 2 balls. I am watching the match in Panjabi Rasoi, Kharadi. Everyone watching the match is very much tensed even the players in dressing room. Mohhammed Amar is ready for 3rd ball, Bhajji took the stance, commentator is saying "India need a big shot from Harbhajan ... ". There you go ... Bhajji hit the ball outside the rope to SIXX!!. Soon, I heard the crackers sounds ... I was screaming out loudly with joy. What a match it is ...
